Benefits of technology

The present invention is an electric connector that is easy to make and has good bonding quality. It consists of an insulative housing with terminal slots and solder ball receiving portions. The terminals are mounted in the slots and the solder balls are placed in the receiving portions. The receiving chambers are defined by the terminals and the solder ball receiving portions. The solder balls are movable in these chambers. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an improved electric connector that is reliable and durable.

Problems solved by technology

Although the protruding portions of the terminals are respectively engaged into the solder balls to hold the solder balls in place, however it is difficult to control the solder balls at the same elevation.

first embodiment

[0014]Referring to FIG. 1, an electric connector in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of an electrically insulative housing 1 and a plurality of terminals 2 (only one terminal is shown in FIG. 1). The housing 1 has a plurality of terminal slots 10 (only one terminal slot is shown in FIG. 1). The terminal slots 10 can be arranged in an array. The terminals 2 are respectively mounted in the terminal slots 10, each having a body 20, a vertical stop portion 21 vertically downwardly extending from one side, namely, the bottom side of the body 20, and a contact portion 22 upwardly extending from the other side, namely, the top side of the body 20 for the connection of an external electronic device. The housing 1 further has a plurality of solder ball receiving means. According to this embodiment, the solder ball receiving means are solder ball receiving holes 12 arranged on the middle of the housing 1 in communication with the terminal slots 10. Each solder ball rec...

fifth embodiment

[0019]FIG. 5 shows an electric connector in accordance with the present invention. According to this embodiment, the sidewall 14″; the stop portion 21″ of each terminal extends obliquely downwards from the bottoms die of the body 20″ of the respective terminal toward the vertical sidewall 14″ and defining with the vertical sidewall 14″ of the associating solder ball receiving hole 12″ a receiving chamber 16″ within which the associating solder ball 3 is movably received. This embodiment achieves the same effect.

[0020]FIG. 6 shows an electric connector in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is substantially similar to the aforesaid fifth embodiment with the exception that the stop portion of each terminal extends from the bottom side of the body of the respective terminal at right angles, i.e., the stop portion extends in horizontal. This embodiment achieves the same effect.

Abstract

An electric connector is disclosed to include an electrically insulative housing, which has solder ball receiving portions, terminals respectively mounted in the housing corresponding to the solder ball receiving portions, each terminal having an endpiece, which defines with the sidewall of each of the solder ball receiving portions a respective receiving chamber, and solder balls respectively movably accommodated in the receiving chambers defined by the endpieces of the terminals and the sidewalls of the solder ball receiving portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an electric connector and more particularly, to an electric connector with solder balls.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]Conventionally, the connection between an electric connector and a circuit board can be done in two ways. One way is to directly solder the pins of the electric connector to the circuit board. The other way is to bond the terminals of the electric connector to the circuit board by means of a solder material. China Patent #2004200 59350.7 discloses an electric connector with solder balls. According to this design, the electric connector comprises a housing and a number of terminals. The housing has a plurality of terminal slots and a plurality of bottom solder ball grooves respectively disposed in communication with the terminal slots. The terminals are respectively mounted in the terminal slots, each having a protruding portion. Further, solder balls are re...
